Who's the man?

I'm really beginning to wonder what the hell is going on here and who is the man in this home. I'm beginning to think that I'm living with a freaking female instead. I tell him there's a mosquito in here and he proceeds to climb on a chair with a Reader's Digest magazine in one hand to kill it. The first hit should have killed it but he says to me, "I wanted to be gentle with it." SAY WHAT? In the end, he looked so pathetic I was the one who killed the damn thing. How often do you find yourself doing things yourself because the person you asked can't do it right?

I've sent a complaint in to the local Mosquito welfare society. You'll be hearing from them.

Why yes, they're closely allied with the Alliance to Prevent the Extinction of Dengue and Malaria.

I didn't know that the MWS was still in existence after that whole dragonfly debacle and everything.

When it comes to things that I will ask my husband to do, I do have to say that he usually does a really good job of doing whatever it is that I have asked of him. However, when it comes to my children, that is a completely different story. I know that there are some things that I ask them to do that they would be able to do just fine but they will do things halfway and then I will end up having to go behind them and do those same things over again.

generally speaking, I'm the one that has to get things done because I'm the only one who can see pretty good.

HAhaha! Be gentle on killing a possible carrier of dengue? Weird! That is how I felt when I used to have a helper. The reason why you hired one so that you could be free form other house works and can do other things , right? but sometimes, I end up just doing everything coz it is either she didn't have the time to do it or she refused to do it. So why should I burden myself in paying the help monthly when I am the one still doing all of the things?

Everything, everything? Dang.. If the help doesn't do their job right away, they should be fired.

A lot of times sadly. I hate the fact that I tell my brothers a simple thing as in to help or do a favor. For instance, such as the one you are stating. I have had that happen my cousins and brothers are taller and bigger than me, yet they see a small bug of any kind and immediate panic/hilarious reaction. I laugh all the time and tell them you guys are such B!'s in a funny way though. They all yell kill it as if its a bug creature coming to eat us alive or something haha. When it's a mosquito I kill it but if it's a mouth or bee I just !shoo! itout lol I think I am being gentle I am not sure if that is being gentle haha

Readers Digest for killing mosquito, not for reading. I remember an add in tv which is on anti-mosquito, somebody trying to kill a mosquito by newspaper and another said, newspaper is for reading not for killing mosquitoes.... I had been in such situations several time already and I felt it would be better to do the work myself rather than depending on some other. Most of the time I prefer to do the works myself to avoid such situations. I just can’t tolerate if the other one can’t follow my words and do it perfectly.
